My state-issued drivers license allows me to get into a car and drive to visit friends in other states. If I decide to drive to visit my friend Pablo in Arizona, or Jacqueline in New York, my North Carolina-issued license will be honored by every law enforcement agency I may encounter along the way.

This is where we can use the Gay Marriage arguments agains the anti-gun zealots. If a state has to recognize other states civil proceedings (i.e. licenses) through the Full Faith and Credit Clause, then states should also recognize other states’ gun licenses.

From the Constitution Maine will be voting on June 12, 2018 at the secession vote. On June 12, 2018 voters on Maine will decide two things, whether to secede or not and if to secede to accept the Constitution now being worked on as the national Constitution, it will be all one vote.

Section 6. The Militia and the standing army of 1,000. So as to insure and guarantee the rights guaranteed in this Constitution, every natural born male in the Republic of Maine, upon reaching the age of 18 years from conception through age 67 years from conception, has, as a member of the Militia, the obligation to keep and bear arms for the common defense, for his and his families protection, to defend against this government or any government in the future from becoming oppressive, tyrannical, or in any other way obnoxious to freedom, and to secure the rights written in this Constitution. This obligation shall never be questioned. No law shall be passed that restricts this obligation, except for time in a local jail, county jail or Maine Republic prison. No law shall be passed, test given, or fee assessed to any citizen of the Republic of Maine, age 18 from the age of conception, both male and female, that would restrict in any way that citizens right to be armed either concealed or open. Males who are found to be or confess to being homosexuals are refused entry and from serving in either the Militia or the standing army. Males over the age of 67 may be voluntary members of the Militia with the full rights of Militia members. Natural born males between the age of 16 years from conception to 18 years from conception may volunteer for Militia service with the written permission of parents or guardians. The standing army of 1,000 shall be drawn from the Militia by the commander of the Militia and is under the command of the commander of the Militia who is appointed by and reports directly to the President.

The Constitution’s Full Faith and Credit clause should allow any concealed license holder to use that permit in all 50 states, following that state’s laws and restrictions.

However, Congress has not determined that concealed weapon licenses are worthy of Full Faith and Credit yet. Congress has done so for Driver’s Licenses, Marriage Licenses (between a man and a woman per the Defense of Marriage Act,) Birth Certificates, etc.

There have been bills proposed to add cpl licenses to the list, but have not passed yet.

I wish people would stop comparing drivers licenses to the Second Amendment. Theyre not equal. God help us all.

Correct. The Second Amendment shouldn't require a permit, and carry (open and concealed) should be legal in all 50 states without such requirement. The 2nd Amendment is pretty clear on the whole thing.

(Has anyone seen my tagline? It was here yesterday. I seem to have misplaced it.)

The exact date is not as important as the fact that, by suing the date of conception, it protects human life in the womb, and allows any citizen to use what ever force he or she deems necessary to prevent harm to that baby in the womb.

The author is right. The 2nd Amendment should trump state lines. States do that with marriages as well. States are forced to recognize marriages from other states. Also they are forced to recognize driver’s licenses. Why should an unambiguous right in the the Constitution that is explicitly called out to “be not infringed upon” be any different?
